1 comments about Awakening the Dragon: The Dragon Boat Festival.

1. This is the story of the cultural and historical origins of the dragon boat festival celebrated in China and by the Chinese around the world. Dragon boats represent the effort of villagers to protect the spirit of one of the emperor's advisors who drowned himself in the river. Many other legends accompany this festival, including the story of a nightmare from an emperor in the 700's who dreamed of a ghost. This book provides a nice overview of the legends and customs from the past and the celebrations today of this exciting festival time.

3 comments about Putting on a Party: Adventure Parties for Kids (Acitvities for Kids).

1. This book addresses etiquette issues in a fun way. There are so many great activities, recipes and games in this book that you won't want to wait for a party to try them out. This book is a great resource for parents and children alike. The humor throughout guarantees that children will read and learn.



2. Putting On A Party is a how-to book written especially for kids ages 6 and up, although readers of all ages can use it to plan an exciting adventure party for young people. Colorful illustrations and easy-to-understand text instruct one in the basic steps of organizing, planning, and hosting a celebration. From basic tips and advice (including how to respond to someone who asks why they weren't invited, and knowing how to end a party on a high note) to decoration and invitation ideas, the heart of the book, a wide catalogue of fun party games that all guests can play together, Putting On A Party is a superb resource and starting guide for kids' get-togethers of all kinds, including birthday, holiday, and end of school year celebrations.

2 comments about Mother's Mother's Day.

1. When a mouse, Hazel, takes a small woodland Mother's Day gift to her mother, she finds the tree trunk vacant. Mother has gone to visit her mother ... and so and so on ... (Many mouse generations can coexist.) Finally, they all find each other for the celebration. Children learn that every mother has a mother and they all have names. They can live independently, but they love and watch out for each other.

3 comments about Happy Birthday, Cookie Monster! (Step into Reading, Step 1, paper).

1. This children's book is aimed at young kids learning to read. It has large type that doesn't overrun the pictures, so young eyes can focus clearly on the words. Simple vocabulary and a fun topic (eaking cake at a birthday party!) makes this a fun book for a preschooler's library.



2. liked the book. The best part was when he gave everyone a piece of cake. First, big bird came to Cookie Monsters birthday party and gave him a yellow cake for his present.



3. My grandson began enjoying this book when he was 9 months old. He's now 15 months old and needs a new copy, because his copy has been read so many times. He loves to turn the pages while we read the book to him and loves to pretend to read it out loud to himself. Bert, Ernie, Grover, and Big Bird are part of the party-scene. The story line is great and the illustrations hold a toddler's interest.

1 comments about Clifford's Happy Mother's Day (Clifford).

1. Ever wonder how Clifford came to be Emily Elizabeth's special pet pal? Or what Clifford's mother was like? Well this book will tell you. It explains that Clifford came from an apartment next door to Emily Elizabeth, and it also describes Clifford's first Mother's Day adventure; an episode where he thwarts Emily's plans but everything comes out all right after a little creative thinking.
   
   Four Stars. [B-]. Good Read-aloud. This book tells two separate stories: how Clifford came to be in Emily Elizabeth's family, as well as how Clifford celebrated his first Mother's Day. Artwork is the original by the author, and not like that of the television show.

5 comments about Ten Mice for Tet!.

1. this book is simple but filled with information. one mouse plans a party, two mice go to market, 3 mice paint and polish, 4 mice prepare a feast, 5 mice learn their fortunes, 6 mice open presents...etc. The last two pages of the book give further information on each activity - what it is and why it is an important tradition. I like it because most books do not focus on the vietnamese tradition of Chinese New Year. Our family is of Vietnamese heritage, so this book is best for us.



2. This is a great book for preschoolers to teach about some of the activities related to the Vietnamese New Year and its celebration. The embroidered illustrations are quite intricate. I highly recommend this simple, yet informative book.



3. My 2 yo loves this book, on the 1 Mouse plans a party page we talk about all the people she will invite to our party and by the end she cheers Happy New Year (in Vietnamese) with me. She was enchanted by Lunar New Year this year, and this book has been a wonderful way to help keep it alive for her. We are not Vietnamese and we love this book.



4. Great book for little ones about the Vietnamese New Year. The embroidered illustrations are phenomenal.



5. We really like this book because it has a section in the back for "older" readers. We also enjoyed the front part for "children"
